Fences and High Places

In blue skies a turkey buzzard glides on a beautiful fall day.

The summer grasses begin to brown as we enter fall.

Checking fences and the land we join 

with TexWisGirl at The Run*A*Round Ranch

and many more to share our old farm fences and views.

We tour as the leaves fall from some trees

and others begin to turn.

We stop for a moment to view the Boston Mountain Range of the Ozarks from our part of the Salem Plateau.  It is a beautiful day to be alive.

Dam, Heart, River, Fog, Fence

At the base of the Norfork Dam is Norfork River, famous for Rainbow trout fishing.  They have a wonderful area where children can fish but it is a catch and release area.  Why?  There is a fish hatchery right there and I guess they don't want them all caught before the Norfork joins the White River, also famous for Trout fishing, Brown and Rainbow.

It was raining as we came through after Hubby heart check up...yep, he still has one.

I asked him to stop.  I wanted pictures.

In the rain?

I don't care.  I want pictures.

These steps took me to Dry Run Creek.

 to see this

and this in the rain.

The steps back seems much steeper but

if you notice my little orb is with me.

 The fog was rolling in but there were people fishing every where.

The minimal flow pipe was running along with two flood gates.

The pictures do not do Norfork River justice.

The beauty was breathtaking.

I kept moving closer and closer to get a good shot.

The fog was winning but I finally got the flood gates.

 And I got a rock.  Did that surprise anybody?

This is the power station below the dam.

Sometimes power is generated, but here's the kicker

The power is bought by another state!

The power plant in enclosed with a chain link fence.

Good Fences

The rain sparkled on grass after the storm.

The wind blew hard enough to blow the bark off the post.

The fence still stands.
